Utsleppsfrie hurtigbåtar: Kven tar rekninga?
2024-03-13 - 2024-03-15 | Kulturhuset i Bergen, Vaskerelven 8, Bergen, 5094, Norway
Hurtigbåtar har vore klimaverstingar, men skal no bli klimavinnarar. Når kan me reisa utsleppsfritt med båt til Sogn og Hardanger? Med kva teknologi? Og ikkje minst: Kven tar rekninga? Maritime CleanTech og Initiativ Vest inviterer til hurtigbåtdebatt under Varmere Våtere Villere.
Verdas første utsleppsfrie hurtigbåt, «Medstraum», har gått i rute i Stavanger sidan 2022. I Vestland skal Askøyruta bli elektrisk i 2025. No jobbar fylkeskommunen og Skyss med nye anbod for rutene til Sogn og Nordfjord frå 2026 – og til Sunnhordland og Hardanger frå 2028.
Mens fylket planlegg nye anbod, manglar dei framleis avklaringar frå staten om handlingsrommet. Allereie i 2020 blei det varsla at nullutsleppskrav for hurtigbåtar skal innførast frå 2025, men forskrifta er endå ikkje banka gjennom, og også den statlege kompensasjonen er usikker. Samstundes er prosjektet «Framtidas hurtigbåt» sett på vent grunna manglande finansiering.
Kva må til for at utsleppsfrie hurtigbåtar i vestlandsfjordane skal gå frå visjon til realitet? Kva gjer fylkespolitikarane no – og kva draghjelp får dei frå staten?
Med:

Stian Davies, fylkesvaraordførar i Vestland (Ap)
Terje Søviknes, fylkesutvalsmedlem og 2. nestleiar (Frp)
Liv Kari Eskeland, stortingsrepresentant (H)
Lars Haltbrekken, stortingsrepresentant (SV)
Lars Inge Vågen, kommersiell direktør, Norled AS

Kan digitalisering og kunstig intelligens kutte utslepp i skipsfarten? Lær meir på HAVlunsj på Skolten under One Ocean Week!

Skipsfarten møter stadig større krav til utsleppskutt. I påvente av at nye, utsleppsfrie drivstoff blir tilgjengelege i stor skala, ser næringa etter moglegheiter for å effektivisere sin energibruk og redusere forbruket av fossilt drivstoff. Her gir digital teknologi mange nye verktøy.
Onsdag 17. april inviterer Maritime CleanTech i samarbeid med EDIH Oceanopolis til ein heilt spesiell HAVlunsj på havneterminalen på Skolten, som ein del av One Ocean Week.
Her får du høyre om det nye prosjektet GASS – Green AI for Sustainable Shipping – som skal ta i bruk maskinlæringæ og digitale tvillingar for å optimalisere drivstofforbruket på skip og redusere utsleppa med 20 prosent.
Du får også høyre frå to internasjonale rederi med base i Bergen – Grieg Star og Utkilen – om korleis digitalisering, data og KI speler inn i deira strategi for dekarbonisering av flåten.
Sist, men ikkje minst får du høyre om korleis Oceanopolis kan hjelpe bedrifter i havnæringane med å «booste» sin digitale utvikling og kompetanse!

Om GASS
Shippingindustrien har tradisjonelt vore treg med å ta i bruk digitale teknologiar, noko som har resultert i suboptimal energibruk. Det nye prosjektet GASS (Green AI for Sustainable Shipping) har mål om å endra dette gjenonm å utvikle nye, KI-baserte løysingar for optimalisert ruteplanlegging og drivstofforbruk. Ved å kombinera maskinlæringsalgoritmar med digitale tvillingar for avansert ytingsanalyse, har GASS som mål å mogleggjera ein 20 % reduksjon i drivstofforbruket for fartøy på tvers av ulike fartøysegment.
GASS er eit «Grøn plattform»-prosjekt, finansiert av Noregs forskingsråd, Innovasjon Noreg og Siva. Prosjektet er leia av NAVTOR med partnarane Simula Research Laboratory, Scandinavian Reach Technologies, Grieg Star, SinOceanic Shipping, Maritime CleanTech og Sustainable Energy.
Om Oceanopolis
Har du ønske om «å booste» digital utvikling og kompetanse i organisasjonen din?

Over 80% of the volume of international trade in goods is carried by sea, and the percentage is even higher for most developing countries. Zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies, fuels and/or energy sources will need to represent at least 5%, striving for 10% of the energy used by international shipping by 2030.

Various clean fuels, including ammonia, methanol, biofuels, synthetic fuels, hydrogen, and battery electric technology, present viable options, each with its unique advantages and challenges.

Join the panel of esteemed experts as they discuss:

How can we leverage this huge opportunity for Norway and Norwegian businesses to take a leading role in developing sustainable shipping solutions?

What can the UK and Norway learn from each other when it comes to scaling zero-emission shipping?

What framework conditions are needed to achieve wide-scale adoption of zero-emission fuels, at pace?

How can public private partnerships accelerate zero-emission investments?

Light refreshments will be served.

Places are limited; sign up here.

Here’s some great memories from our Innovation Workshop 2023:

Meet the Chief of the Navy
2024-05-31 08:30 - 10:00 | Opus XVI, Vågsallmenningen 16, Bergen, 5011, Norway
The Long-Term Defense Plan involves a massive investment in the Navy, which has its main base at Håkonsvern. This includes the construction of at least five new frigates and five submarines. The number of employees and conscripts will increase significantly. What does this mean for the defense city of Bergen? What are the implications for the civilian business sector throughout Vestland?

At this breakfast meeting hosted by Bergen Chamber of Commerce and Industry, you will meet Oliver Berdal, the Chief of the Navy. He will discuss the current state of our Navy and the opportunities and challenges ahead, as outlined in the government’s new Long-Term Plan proposal.

The government’s long-term plan proposes doubling the defense budget, which by 2036 will amount to NOK 166 billion. This year’s revised national budget includes an additional NOK 7 billion, meaning we have already reached NATO’s goal of spending at least two percent of GDP on defense.

Future vessel structures, technological development, and personnel shortages are among the most important issues for the Navy today and tomorrow. These cannot be solved by the Armed Forces in isolation. To successfully advance the Armed Forces into the future, good cooperation with the civilian sector is essential, including in areas such as education, technology development, and maintenance. Access to the best expertise and delivery capabilities in various fields is necessary.

Representatives from the shipyard industry and several other stakeholders will also participate in the meeting.

For more information and to sign up, visit Bergen Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s website.

Welcome to a highly exciting meeting in the defense city of Bergen!
